Ruby Martin broke the school record at her only high school swim meet. She swam for Iowa City West, and broke the record in the 100 fly getting a time of 55:01. She also got first in her 100 backstroke with a time of 57:81. In early September Ruby was put onto the National Junior Team. Since she joined the National Junior Team it created scheduling issues which ended her high school career after her very first meet of the season. She decided she wouldn't have time for both teams, and took the opportunity only 30 kids in the country get. One of Ruby's other accomplishments was finishing 4th in the 200 fly at the Olympic Trials.

Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers quarterback, made a comment to Jourdan Rodrigue, a women reporter, at Wednesday's news conference about wide receiver Devin Funchess embracing routes and whether Newton got enjoyment out of that. He had laughed then replied "It's funny to hear a female talk about routes like ... it's funny." Jourdan confronted him after the conference and he did not apologize. On Thursday he made a video to apologize. He had stated "After careful thought, I understand that my word choice was extremely degrading and disrespectful to women, and to be honest, that was not my intention. If you are a person who took offense to what I said, I sincerely apologize to you."
